You mean average speed cameras?
If so, just stop speeding if you don't want a ticket. Go to a track day if you want to race.
If you mean ANPR for tax and insurance, well again just pay the tax and insurance. It's not that hard.

You’re missing the point. We don’t need a surveillance society to achieve societal goals. But the UK made that choice. What does that say about the UK?
The mere presence of a potential harm does not justify all means to correct the harm.
Where do we draw the line?
